Writer argues gender conflict serves divide-and-rule politics

Original: Gendered oppression: divide and rule. Have you ever wondered why there seems to be so much hostility, or at best indiffe

UK-based writer Katy Elphinstone has published a piece examining the hostility, and often indifference, between feminists and trans people, arguing that mutual division benefits those in power rather than either group. Framing both as facing gendered oppression, she suggests solidarity is undermined deliberately. The argument is drawing attention among human rights and gender-politics discussions online.

Why now: Gender-critical versus trans debates remain a highly polarised topic, and the piece reframes the conflict as serving powerful interests, prompting discussion.
